“We are elected representatives but none of the departments takes us onboard vis-à-vis works and other decision. None of the officials take us seriously. We decided to resign as a markl of protest,” said Khuroo. Additional Deputy Commissioner Handwara said he has invited the agitated representatives to his office tomorrow to “sort out the things.”
